Straightforward today, and an average time for me: 12:35.

A good puzzle from Wurm but with one bit of vocab that is definitely 15×15 level, where it was sighted last week.

Hurley sets a good puzzle which kept me thinking and led to a Baroque time, 17:20. 

A well-balanced puzzle, with plenty to think about but nothing to complain about.
